Spiral galaxies have three main components: a bulge, disk, and halo (see right). The bulge is a spherical structure found in the center of the galaxy. This feature mostly contains older stars. The disk is made up of dust, gas, and younger stars. The disk forms arm structures. Our Sun is located in an arm of our galaxy, the Milky Way. The halo of a galaxy is a loose, spherical structure located around the bulge and some of the disk. The halo contains old clusters of stars, known as globular clusters<span>.

Elliptical galaxies are shaped like a spheriod, or elongated sphere. In the sky, where we can only see two of their three dimensions, these galaxies look like elliptical, or oval, shaped disks. The light is smooth, with the surface brightness decreasing as you go farther out from the center. Elliptical galaxies are given a classification that corresponds to their elongation from a perfect circle, otherwise known as their ellipticity. The larger the number, the more elliptical the galaxy is. So, for example a galaxy of classification of E0 appears to be perfectly circular, while a classification of E7 is very flattened. The elliptical scale varies from E0 to E7. Elliptical galaxies have no particular axis of rotation.

Spiral galaxies are in a spiral like motion while eliptical galaxies are shaped like an egg. Spiral galaxies look like they have a core while eliptical galaxies dont.

In the third period of the periodic table sodium is followed by magnesium aluminum silicon and phosphorus which of these element
wariber [46]
Answer:
            Phosphorous has the smallest atomic size.

Explanation:
                   As we know these elements belong to same period means there valence shell is the same. So moving from left to right along the period the shell number remains constant but the number of protons and electrons increases. So, due to increase in number of protons the nuclear charge increases hence attracts the valence electrons more effectively resulting in the decrease of atomic size.

Elements and their atomic radius are as follow,

What happens when an ecosystem reaches the maximum number of individuals it can support
tangare [24]

Answer:

A collapse of the population is rotting, food is not enough and livelihoods have become unfeasible to decrease the number of individuals again.

Another way is to generate mutations to generate a species more vulnerable to decreasing numbers.

In this way the overpopulation is controlled.

Explanation:

In ecosystems, if an increased population breaks the balance of this and begins a new constant adaptation of the extinction of some and overpopulation of others, which may be some chains break or remain unstable.

The feed to a batch process contains equimolar quantities of nitrogen and methane. write an expression for the kilograms of nitr
timama [110]
1) number of moles of N2 = n/2

2) Number of moles of CH4 = n/2

3) Total number of moles of the mixture = n/2 + n/2 = n

4) Kg of N2

mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass of N2 = 2 * 14.0 g/mol = 28 g/mol

=> mass of N2 in grams = (n/2) * 28 = 14n

mass of N2 in Kg = mass of N2 in grams * [1 kg / 1000g] = 14n/1000 kg = 0.014n kg

Answer: mass of N2 in kg = 0.014n kg
